Build the
algorithm.
Own the output.

KIT-01 is a sensor fusion kit built on the ESP32-C3 and MPU-6050 — firmware you write, math you implement, and a live 3D orientation display you ship. The kind of project that holds up in an interview.

The philosophy

Real engineers build
systems, not demos.

Most electronics kits teach you to plug in a wire and watch an LED blink. SystemLab kits teach you the sensor, the algorithm running on the firmware, the math making it work, and the debugging workflow for when it doesn't.

The projects are technically substantial — the kind that come up in interviews, show up in portfolios, and actually reflect how embedded systems are built in the real world.

What this means
01
Implementation depth over simplicity. Embedded firmware, signal processing, math, and visualization — because real engineering is cross-domain.
02
Debugging is part of the curriculum. You'll read a serial monitor, interpret sensor data, identify drift, and fix it. That process is the education.
03
Resume-worthy by design. Every kit is scoped so completing it gives you something you can explain in detail to an interviewer — and back up with code.
04
Breadboard to PCB. You prototype first, then assemble the production board. Understanding the difference is part of the lesson.

Orientation
Module
MPU-6050 · ESP32-C3 · Madgwick Filter · OLED · Live 3D

Wire an IMU to a microcontroller. Flash firmware that runs an attitude estimator at 500Hz. Stream quaternion data to a live 3D visualization over WiFi. Read the output on the OLED. Understand every line of code that makes it work.

What you will understand
Why raw IMU data drifts and exactly what causes it
How the Madgwick algorithm corrects orientation using gradient descent
What quaternions are and why they replace Euler angles in practice
I2C protocol, firmware architecture, and serial telemetry
Interrupt-driven I/O and on-device display output with SSD1306
How to debug embedded systems — with a serial monitor, not guesswork

What's in the kit

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

The kit is designed to take you from zero to a working orientation tracker — breadboard prototype first, then assembled on the production PCB. No extra hardware required.

MCU
ESP32-C3 Supermini
RISC-V core, WiFi + BLE, USB-C. The microcontroller running your firmware.
IMU
MPU-6050 (GY-521)
6-DOF accelerometer + gyroscope. The sensor you'll be fusing.
DISPLAY
SSD1306 OLED
0.96" I2C display on the PCB. Real-time orientation output on-device.
PCB
Custom SystemLab PCB
JLCPCB-manufactured, PCBA-assembled. Designed for this curriculum.
PROTO
Breadboard + Jumper Wires
You prototype the circuit before moving to the PCB. That's intentional.
